    Maybe it's not practical for day-to-day use but the way this hacks the font to produce something completely different is amazing!

    It doesn’t seem to like spaces that much, the code for [QR coded] is broken for me on safari ios. When the space is removed it’s a working qrcode again

      The page addresses this issue, saying that browser text wrapping can cause issues and gives advice on how to deal with it.

    Font rendering should scare you

    Impressive, but on iOS 27 even one of the examples don't work. Seems like it has an issue with spaces. https://imgur.com/a/tZGqtjR

      Did you read the explanation? It says right there on the page why it happens.

      Or was that text added since you viewed it?

    Unfortunately the most important thing here is missing - the whole explanation, like how did we get there, what those fonts can do and so on..

    Spaces are definitely broken in Safari.
